About the AISK

Guides curated by expert friends.

Inclusion at the heart of every question you ask.

The AISK is a growing library of free guides, information leaflets, and downloadable templates — produced by SEND Experts at Hand to support settings and families with confidence. Every guide is written to be genuinely useful from the first read, without needing a professional alongside you to make sense of it.

Each guide carries a tier label — Universal, Targeted, Targeted Plus, or Specialist — showing how it is intended to be used. Universal and Targeted guides are designed to be used independently. Targeted Plus and Specialist guides are best used alongside professional input.

Four tier triangle: Universal and Targeted guides are free to use independently. Targeted Plus and Specialist guides recommend professional guidance alongside.
